As the Xiliang army retreated across Chang'an, the Luoyang rebellion came to an end.
The situation in the second year of Chuping also fell into a brief calm.
It was so peaceful that it almost made people think that they had just changed the capital and everything was still the same as before.
The most incredible thing for Yu Xian was that after learning that the Han Emperor Liu Xie was still in Dong Zhuo's hands, many courtiers came all the way to Chang'an.
Of course, the people who were exposed in the previous rebellion are not included here.
After Sun Jian withdrew his troops, Fu Wan and Xun You chose to follow Cao Cao in pursuit of Dong Zhuo, intending to expand their victory.
As a result, this lightly advancing team was defeated by Xu Rong's ambush.
Cao Cao's troops were defeated and unable to recover. After learning from the pain, he decided to leave Danyang and recruit new troops.
Fu Wan did not follow him and disappeared without a trace. Xun You, on the other hand, could not escape the inertia of history and became Dong Zhuo's prisoner.
As the price of this rebellion, the most important figure among the Han Dynasty courtiers, Sikong Xunshuang, died suddenly, and no fewer than hundreds of courtiers died due to implication.
What chilled Dong Zhuo the most was that even his chief minister, He, was involved in the conspiracy.
You must know that Changshi is the highest official of the shogunate and controls many of Dong Zhuo's secrets. It is no exaggeration to say that Prime Minister Changshi's betrayal means that Dong Zhuo is as deaf and blind as he is in controlling his surroundings.
If Princess Yangzhai hadn't defected at the critical moment, the entire Battle of Luoyang would have been unimaginable.
The reason why the situation can maintain the current balance is that both sides feel that they are the winners.
Although Dong Zhuo was defeated and retreated to Chang'an, returning to his hometown was what he had been planning. Although his return was not glorious, he also eliminated a large number of political opponents in the process.
As for the Han Dynasty courtiers, they believed that they successfully showed their fangs to Dong Zhuo and let Dong Zhuo know how powerful they were.
As long as Thief Dong is afraid of the righteous people in the world, it will be successful in the general direction.
And Dong Zhuo controls the emperor, so they have no choice...
The Kwantung Allied Forces became a complete loser in this struggle.
Not only did Dong Zhuo see through these guys' fierce nature, but they also quickly fell into internal fighting.
Just when Sun Jian went to attack Luoyang, Yuan Shao, the leader of the Kwantung Allied Forces, appointed Zhou Ang as the governor of Yuzhou and captured Sun Jian's frontline base of Yangcheng.
This act of stabbing an ally in the back completely angered Sun Jian. He launched a fierce attack on Zhou Ang and defeated him in one fell swoop.
However, after offending Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu refused to help, so Sun Jian could only retreat to Changsha in anger.
However, what he never expected was that the road ahead was his point of no return.
…
In comparison, the city of Chang'an in Xijing was much quieter.
Dong Zhuozhi proudly named himself Grand Master and named Shangfu. When going in and out, he took a Qinggai Jinhua chariot with two claws painted on it.
Dong Bai officially received his fiefdom in Weiyang County.
With her strong recommendation, Li Su's fierce general finally got the coveted military power.
Dong Zhuo asked him to still command the three thousand soldiers and horses under his command, and eat directly in Weiyang County.
Li Su also began to openly present himself as Weiyang Lord's subordinate, but Dong Zhuo didn't care at all.
Yu Xian saw that the situation in Chang'an City began to stabilize, and Dong Bai also began to immaturely win over the military morale of the Xiliang soldiers. He was still thinking about Bian Ji and others who had been abducted by him.
This cause and effect will eventually come to an end.
Yu Xian originally promised to send them to find Cao Cao, but by some mistake they ended up in Chang'an.
Yu Xian did not go to say goodbye to Dong Bai. He left a letter, put the girls in a gourd, rode a strong horse, and lazily left Tongguan.
After traveling for more than ten days, Yu Xian arrived near Luoyang again.
Looking at the Xiongcheng that had been burned to ruins, Yu Xian sighed with emotion.
After walking a little further, I saw a strong young man in a blue shirt, holding his hands and looking around on the burnt black city wall with bright eyes.
Yu Xian laughed loudly and waved to him vigorously.
Guan Hai saw it on the city wall and burst into laughter.
When the two met and said goodbye to each other, they were like old friends who had known each other for many years.
Yu Xian told him his plan, and Guan Hai also agreed with it.
In his words, the main force of the Yellow Turban Army has been operating in Hebei and Shandong, and perhaps they can find some like-minded people.
Yu Xian didn't have much expectations for this.
The remaining Yellow Turban thieves are no longer relevant at all.
But when Yu Xian mentioned something, Guan Hai became very happy.
"So, the old thief Dong sent someone to take the treasure to suppress the Chenggao Earth Line. I don't know what kind of interesting thing it is. Let's go east and happen to pass by Hulao Pass. Why not take a look."
Yu Xian thought to himself that even if he had some treasure, he might not have the chance to do so with him.
He didn't want to disappoint Guan Hai, so he responded accordingly.
The two of them walked eastward together, and within a few miles, they met another person who surprised Yu Xian.
Zuoqiu Junyi.
The old man Zuoqiu seemed to be enjoying a good life. He was riding a skinny donkey and was heading east with large and small bags on his back.
Yu Xian met an acquaintance and called out happily.
Zuoqiu Junyi looked back, was startled, and then asked, "Didn't I go to Hanzhong?"
"Hanzhong?" Yu Xian was stunned, then asked, "Why should I go to Hanzhong?"
Zuoqiu Junyi asked in confusion, "Don't you know? You people from the Heming Taoist Palace seem to have joined Liu Yan. Now the Taoist priests from the Heming Taoist Palace have come out in large numbers to follow Yizhou's soldiers and horses to attack Hanzhong.
I was thinking about this two days ago. Since I am a disciple of Heming Taoist Palace, I should naturally serve in the army."
Yu Xian's eyes widened, "Are you saying that the Taoist priests from Heming Taoist Palace have come out of the mountains to fight with Yizhou soldiers and horses?"
Zuoqiu Junyi replied, "Yes! Now there are rumors everywhere in the world, saying that since Heming Taoist Palace supports Liu Yan, it must be because Liu Yan has the king's destiny. Liu Yan is also a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and he is a member of the clan.
His status is also high. Many people think that he is Emperor Guangwu alive!"
Yu Xian was not surprised that Zhang Lu would enter this killing place in the late Han Dynasty to experience the calamity.
In history, Zhang Lu captured Hanzhong and protected the people for thirty years.
However, what Yu Xian never expected was that Heming Taoist Palace would change its attitude so quickly.
A large number of Taoist priests will be sent down the mountain to help Liu Yan.
Yu Xian has experienced these times and has a deep understanding.
Taoist skills are not so good in the battlefield. The one who can really influence the situation of the battle is always the military strategist who is full of ingenuity!
Even Confucianism has produced many Confucian generals who can go into battle to kill the enemy.
Taoism takes the great road as its ancient foundation and its magic techniques as illusory superficialities. If it actually goes to the battlefield, it will probably cause a lot of casualties.
